(Windows) net_if_addrs() should return broadcast address

[giampaolo]

Netmask and broadcast addresses are currently not returned on Windows. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/netifaces/ lib support both but the code is kinda twisted and not so easy to port. CC @mrjefftang in case you want to give this a try.

Edit: netmask added as of #874

...also, now we have ptp (point to point) addresses as well (see #668) but I'm not sure whether Windows support them.

Feel free to make a pull request. Personally I don't think I will do it any
time soon.

Here's a PR for netmask: #874

[Ragzouken]

I don't know psutil well enough to attempt a PR integrating it, but with the address and netmask you can compute the broadcast address like so:

import ipaddress
broadcast = ipaddress.IPv4Network(f"{address}/{netmask}", strict=False).broadcast_address

[giampaolo]

Thanks a lot for the hint. Implemented in #2501.
